GallinaPinta Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 So I only have the faintest idea of what this could be. I vote for the oyster crassostrea since that's what I was told. But now someone told me it was a rudist and im a bit confused. Could it be cretaceous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doushantuo Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 it gives off a rudist* vibe to me,which isn't saying much *edit:Durania?Barrettia? below some of you may like: GeoArabia, Vol. 8, No. 1, 2003 Paleoecological and paleobiogeographical significance of the rudist Macgillavryia chubbii sp. n. in the Campanian of Oman philip.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzBernhard Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 That´s a somewhat tricky one, @GallinaPinta! But I am still thinking you are having the hinge area of the left valve of a big oyster here (compare with left part of attached pic).

FranzBernhard Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks! At least the area to the lower right does not look like radial bands of radiolitid rudists to me. Still thinking oyster. Franz Bernhard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
